NIFIREG-209 Rebuild metadata DB from FlowPersistenceProvider when empty DB

> Support rebuilding metadata DB from Git repo

> Key: NIFIREG-209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-209
> Project: NiFi Registry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bryan Bende
> Assignee: Bryan Bende
> Priority: Major
>
> Since the release of git persistence for flow storage, many users have asked
> if there is a way to stand up a new NiFi Registry instance and just point it
> at an existing git repo of flows.
> Currently the issue is that the git repo is only used for the persistence of
> flow content, and the metadata comes from a relational database, so if you
> lost your server and don't have a copy of the DB then the git repo alone
> isn't enough.
> In general the DB should be backed up, or an external DB with HA (Postgres)
> should be used instead of the H2 DB, but we should also be able to offer a
> way to bootstrap a new NiFi Registry instance from a git repo of flows.
